Abstract- The project represents an innovative
mechanical engineering. Regenerative Braking is an energy recovery mechanism that slows down a moving vehicle or object by converting its kinetic energy or potential energy into an electrical energy that can be either used immediately or stored until needed.
approach to enhancing energy efficiency in vehicles. Through enormous amount of heat energy is unwantedly disappear in to atmosphere at the time of brakes are applied while vehicle is in running, it will be useful if we store this energy somehow which is otherwise getting wasted out and reuse it while we started to accelerate. In this perspective, here we propose a regenerative braking system with power a monitor. This system allows a vehicle to generate energy each time brakes are applied as well as track the amount of power generated. When brakes are applied strongly more heat energy will be generated. Also, a circuitry is used to track the generated voltage every time while applying force on the brake pedal.
The traditional friction-based braking systems employed in vehicles dissipate kinetic energy in the form of heat, leading to significant energy wastage and reduced fuel efficiency. Regenerative braking, on the other hand, represents a pioneering solution to this challenge by capturing and converting the kinetic energy during deceleration into electrical energy, which can be stored or redirected for various applications within the vehicle's powertrain.
This method is based on the principle of converting the kinetic energy created by mechanical energy of the motor into electrical energy and the converted electrical energy is stored in battery for later use. This system furnishes benefits across fuel saving. In consequence this system allows for charging of vehicle battery each time brakes are applied, thus providing a regenerative braking system. It moves us another step ahead towards a pollution free transportation system. Key Words: Regenerative braking, Brakes, Kinetic energy, Motor, Generator, Power monitor.

1. INTRODUCTION
The integration of a power monitoring system with regenerative braking holds immense promise in providing valuable insights into energy exhausting patterns, efficiency fluctuations, and system health. By closely monitoring and analyzing the power flow during braking events, researchers and engineers can refine regenerative braking algorithms, maximize energy recapture, and ensure seamless integration with the vehicle's power grid.
In the pursuit of escalating environmental concerns and the imperative to reduce carbon emissions, the automotive industry is witnessing a paradigm shift towards sustainable and energy-efficient technologies. One such innovation that has garnered significant attention is the Regenerative Braking System (RBS), a groundbreaking approach to harnessing and optimizing energy within vehicular systems.
